Why isn't MessageEvent linked to a definition? It's not at all clear what this
object is. And the postMsg API has a MessageEvent, but that object doesn't
have the "target" property, which is used in the sample code below.

A lot more information about MessageEvent would be very helpful.

This is another spec-splitter bug.  The links do work in the WHATWG version:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/workers.html#workers

But the script that splits it up to make the various W3C versions doesn't add inter-spec links.
